that's odd, as of now it's not on the "What's New" section

 

EDIT: now it is !

as of early July, over 2.3 million have attended the “Exercise Patience”! Regional Conventions in person

 

It appears that the last "Exercise Patience"! Regional Convention finishes on Sunday 31 December 2023 ..... so I look forward to the the Governing Body letting us know the total 'in person' attendance in the January 2024 Update

It appears that the spacing for recent GB Updates has been up to nine weeks, for example 26 August 2022 > 28 October 2022, and 6 January 2023 > 13 March 2023.

 

The last GB Update was released on Friday 26 May 2023, hence:

• 7 weeks = 14 July 2023
• 8 weeks = 21 July 2023
• 9 weeks = 28 July 2023

 

 

@PArale is our details man!! 👌👏

My wife and I were looking at the Spiritual Gems part for the MWM this week and we were talking about how much the Jews reluctance to return to Jerusalem describes the reluctance for some to return to in-person meetings at the KH. We were wondering if the next GB Update may be stronger encouragement to return to in-person meetings.

 

Changes to Zoom are coming!

Yes. A letter was read and then publicly displayed at our placard.

I’m interested in knowing what this was about since I share addresses with older sister, who are unable to do service in person. I am also on zoom at least twice a week with the letter writing with two different groups both at my same hall. One is a Friday morning group very small. The other is a Monday group with a variety of people from many places that’s been going on since right after Covid started. We had our Meeting on Thursday and there was no announcement concerning this subject.

If it is publicly displayed, then please tell us what it says.

[trottigy]

I don't see any new letters or announcements in the elders' side of JW.org. The latest is the one read for July about looking for vehicles & construction equipment and that we'll do the GB update #5 on July 31 at the meeting.

Maybe it’s local only to Portugal?

[Dages]

I guess it's local. So no problem with sharing it.

The new JWL app playlist feature is excellent!

 

I was able to put my public talks in as separate playlists and add my photos. Now I will always have them with me to share with a congregation when giving a talk out.
